Naruto: The Wind Calamity
chapter-720

Neji coughed, spitting out blood. He looked at Naruto and wondered, 'What the hell was that? How was he able to infuse so much chakra in the same jutsu and increase its strength to such a level? Why does he even know such a strong jutsu?'

Before he could find an answer, his eyes widened as he saw Naruto's chakra moving in the same way it did a few minutes ago. He once again released chakra from his chakra points while cursing, 'Crap! How many times can he use this jutsu? Why does he still have so much chakra?'

For the first time, Neji was more than a bit nervous. Unlike Naruto, his chakra reserves were extremely limited. Even so, he still trusted his defense. However, there were quite a few who didn't have that luxury.

"Holy fucking hell! That demon is making the same fucking hand seals!"

"Stop! Stop! Are you crazy? Do you want to kill all of us???"

"That Hyuga kid is not at the center of the arena this time. He is very close to the wall. If he attacks here, then we…"

"Fuck! STOP KID!"

"Mommy, I'm sorry. I won't ever force you to bring me here."

"I'm sorry! I'll never look at you hatefully again! Please stop your attack!"

The audience behind Neji was in full panic mode! Young children were in tears. The adults who mistreated Naruto were now sorry. Quite a few people were trying to run away while several kids and even more adults fell unconscious due to fear.

The civilians weren't the only ones who were afraid. The ordinary-looking lady, who was glancing at Fujin earlier, nervously wondered, 'Have our plans been leaked? Does Konoha intend to launch a surprise attack using the excuse of the Chunin Exam?'

Hoka looked at the commotion awkwardly and asked, "Should we help out?"

Fujin's group was quite far away from the line of attack. So, none of them had made a move so far. However, realizing that some people may die, a few of them became nervous.

Renjiro answered, "It's fine. Arrangements are made to stop any attacks from harming the audience in every Chunin Exam. It's just that Naruto's attack caught them off guard."

As Renjiro spoke, four Anbu ninjas made a move. They flickered and appeared on top of the walls while weaving hand seals. Just before Naruto's attack could hit the audience, a barrier appeared in front of them and stopped the winds!

Orochimaru keenly observed the barrier and realized, 'The barrier team is much stronger than what they usually keep. As expected, they're here to keep Gaara in check. Unfortunately for them, they have foolishly given away their location. Who'd have thought that Naruto would help me…'

A smirk appeared under his mask as he said, "That's quite a Genin you've got there, Lord Hokage. His strength is more than enough to be classified as a Chunin. Even some Jounins may suffer against him."

Hiruzen replied, "True, but there are a lot of requirements to become a Chunin. I'm sure you understand, Lord Kazekage."

Even though the barrier protected the audience, Neji still had to bear the brunt of the attack. He couldn't keep using Rotation endlessly. Hayate frowned, calculating, 'Under such intense winds, Neji will die if he can't sustain his jutsu. How can I save him if that happens? Sigh, why are the battles so troublesome?'

Hayate was feeling helpless. First Gaara and now Naruto, there wasn't anything he could do about their attacks. He just hoped that someone stronger would rescue Neji.

Naruto's classmates kept watching with dumbfounded expressions. Not a single one imagined that Naruto would overwhelm Neji in this manner. Of course, his generation wasn't the only ones who were shocked.

Ibiki frowned and asked, "Who decided to teach him how to supercharge jutsus?"

Anko glanced at Fujin and said, "I heard that Kakashi had given Naruto to Fujin. Seeing the smile plastered on his face, we don't need a second guess."

Ibiki sighed and muttered, "Not only is he troublesome, but he's making others more troublesome as well."

Kotetsu and Izumo had stopped commenting entirely. Both were left speechless by Naruto's display. The winds finally died down. Everyone looked curiously at Neji. As the dust cleared, they saw him on his knees while breathing heavily. He looked completely spent. It was a rather pitiful sight. Yet, everyone's respect for him increased. After all, not many would survive as long as he did.

Once again, Naruto exclaimed in shock, "What the hell is up with this guy? Why can't my Wind attacks hit him?"

"Boss, he is on his knees! He definitely can't take another attack."

"That's right! Give him another big one!"

Naruto weaved hand seals once again while shouting, "It doesn't matter even if he gets up ten more times! I can do this all day!"

The entire stadium, except for one person, looked at Naruto with a dumbfounded expression. Hiruzen resisted the urge to facepalm as he questioned, 'Didn't he spend only 3 days with Fujin? How did he get influenced so much?'

Meanwhile, Hoka and Renjiro stared at Fujin while thinking, 'There's no doubt about it! It's his doing! As quirky as Naruto is, he wasn't someone who'd abuse his advantage to this extent!'

Fujin ignored their gazes and didn't even bother covering up his smile. He said, "Guy, you may wanna step in. Neji isn't in a state to endure another attack."

Guy nodded seriously. He had realized that as well.

Neji observed Naruto supercharging his jutsu once again and analyzed, 'I can't sustain the rotation for another couple of minutes. How do I counter him?'

"That's enough! Hyuga Neji is in no shape to continue this battle. Uzumaki Naruto is the winner." Seeing that Neji was in no state to continue, Hayate invoked his powers as the proctor and announced loudly, putting an end to the battle.

Naruto stopped channeling his chakra and muttered, "Huh? I won?"

His clones were surprised by Hayate's announcement as well. Neji's body finally gave away and he collapsed to the ground.

Silence engulfed the stadium before the majority of the audience broke into a loud cheer. Only the section of the audience behind the barrier was silent. However, they too began celebrating. It was just that instead of celebrating Naruto's victory, they were celebrating that the match was finally over!

Sakura shouted, "Yes! Naruto won!"

Ino exclaimed, "That was incredible."

Others cheered as well while several senior ninjas were impressed by the skill Naruto displayed. For Konoha, a village where the majority of the ninjas practiced Fire jutsus, a ninja who could spam supercharged Wind jutsus was someone most wanted in their squads.

Naruto was surprised to hear everyone cheering for him. In a few seconds, a wide grin appeared on his face and he began celebrating too.

Hiruzen smiled, thinking, 'In this aspect, Naruto will leave even Fujin behind. If he learns how to harness the Nine Tails' chakra better, he could launch supercharged jutsu for hours. Still, I need to have a word with Naruto. If he uses supercharged Wind jutsus inside the village, the village's funds will bleed dry in no time…'

Even Orochimaru looked at Naruto with interest. He hadn't expected Naruto to make such gains in so little time.

In the waiting room, Kankuro muttered in disbelief, "I underestimated this knucklehead. His Wind Release might be stronger than yours, Temari."

Temari frowned. She was already having a hard time accepting that Fujin, who was only a year older than her, was so much better than her at Wind jutsus. Seeing Naruto's supercharged Wind jutsus ignited competitiveness in her heart.

The medics finally came to take Neji away. Naruto stopped celebrating and looked at him. Neji said, "To think you kept such a card hidden. I admit, I underestimated you. If I had known earlier…"

Naruto cut him off and said, "Your eyes can't see which jutsus I know and think that they can see fate? Since I defeated you, doesn't it mean that the fate you saw was nothing but fake? So, shut up about fate and destiny. You shouldn't whine about such things!"

Neji didn't say a word. He had nothing he could say to prove Naruto wrong. Fujin heard their conversation and thought, 'Interesting. Since he used Wind jutsus to attack, Neji didn't get an opportunity to seal Naruto's chakra points and tell him about the caged bird seal of the Hyuga clan… Still…'

Fujin glanced at Hiashi and concluded, 'Yeah, he won't be letting this opportunity go.'
